I already replaced the spark plugs and oil after removing one at a time while cranking to get rid of any water inside. I dont have any codes coming up on my obd2 and my exhaust still spits little sprays of water when revving at high rpm. I got her driving again on the freeway, but when come to a stop/idle itll cut out... (also have replaced my fuel filter few weeks ago) I'm hella lost on this

Now go back to factory airbox. Or get a BMW performance or Dinan High Flow if you absolutely need an intake.

^This is what I would consider doing if I were you. If you have lots of running water where you live it does not make any sense to have your intake sitting right off the ground No wonder you're having issues now....not good to suck in water through your intake....

So I've read that old timers used to spray water into intake as a way of knocking the carbon off.

I can't believe you said that!

Yeah, we used to do this, back when compression was 8.5:1 and we didn't have computerized fuel metering, so we ran everything rich.

Don't pour water into your intake.
